One of Sovereign Man's core goals is to help you increase your freedom & protect the assets you've worked all your life to build.

In this article, you'll learn what threats you are up against… as well as the simple, logical steps you can take to build a solid foundation. One that ensures you’ll thrive no matter what happens next in the world.

You might think it’s perfectly safe to leave all of your savings in one country, or to hold your retirement assets in a mutual-fund-based 401(k), or to sock them all away in a stock-heavy IRA.

After all, that’s what the “experts” tell us to do.

And it might indeed be safe to do so. It’s quite possible that nothing will ever threaten your assets. You might never see your own version of what happened in Argentina, or in Cyprus, or even in the US in 2008-2009.

Yet despite all of the extraordinary possibilities out there, we must also stay realistic:

No one can deny that the world has gotten itself into a twist. Half the population seems pitched against the other half.

And when they’re not fighting, they’re spending themselves to death.

Governments are bankrupt. Nearly every single Western government has locked itself into an unsustainable, crippling position. Each has dug itself into a financial hole so deep that it will take generations to undo the damage.

Bottom line: They’re putting everything you've worked for all your life at risk. And their next steps will be to start eroding your freedom (if they haven’t already done so).

The United States leads the way in this race to the bottom, with $20 trillion in debt and a total net worth of MINUS $76.7 trillion, according to its own most recent annual financial report. That’s a negative net worth totalling in the tens of trillions.
